Three crew have died after a leak of toxic fumes on a barge in Mumbai, India.

The incident on the Orion II took place on Friday night, the Indian Express reported.

Two other men lost consciousness after the leak.

The barge is owned by Mumbai-based Shree Krishna Agencies.

It was secured alongside Thoresen Shipping’s 43,000-dwt bulker Thor Endeavour (built 1995) and was unloading a cargo of wheat from the bigger ship, whose crew notified authorities, according to the coast guard.
